Something in the way: September 2003

Sunday, September 14

broken
Finally I feel I'm human again
I had grown so alien to you, O God
red-eyed and unable to shed a tear
I heard a breaking in my spine
under the weight of you
I'd grown so cold
and now you're burning my hands
everything I touch is melting
you touched my heart and melted the ice
and those are the tears I've been unable to cry
until now

broken
